jupyter-dash
Dash support for the Jupyter notebook interface
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are maintaining an existing Jupyter Dash notebook. The package is archived and abandoned since June 2024 with no maintenance since April 2022. For new projects, use Dash directly with a separate development server, or consider actively maintained alternatives for notebook-based interactive apps.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- JupyterLab support requires the jupyterlab-dash extension and JupyterLab version 2.0 or above; JupyterLab must be rebuilt after installation via 'jupyter lab build'.
- Installation is straightforward with low friction.
- However, the package is archived and abandoned as of June 2024, with no updates since April 2022.

- Support status for newer Jupyter environments (VS Code notebooks, nteract) given the project's abandonment
What it is and what it does
Jupyter Dash bridges Plotly Dash and Jupyter notebooks, allowing you to write and test interactive web dashboards directly in notebook cells without leaving the notebook environment. It works across classic Notebook, JupyterLab, VS Code notebooks, and other Jupyter-compatible editors. The package depends on Dash, Flask, IPython, and several supporting libraries to handle async execution and HTML rendering within the notebook kernel.
The main use case is rapid prototyping and iterative development of dashboards in an exploratory notebook workflow. However, the project is archived and has not been maintained since April 2022, meaning it will not receive updates for compatibility issues with newer versions of its dependencies or the Jupyter ecosystem.
Use it for
- Prototype interactive dashboards in a notebook during data exploration without switching to a separate development environment.
- Teach or demonstrate Dash applications interactively in a notebook-based learning context.
- Maintain or extend existing Jupyter-Dash notebooks that were built before the project's archival.
- Build quick internal data visualization tools that live alongside analysis code in a single notebook.
